This loaf is the very first baking experience i ever have.After Santa (hehehe) gave me that mixer on x'mas i finally got a chance to use it.With all the ingriedents i have on hand i made my first loaf and its amazingly delicious.I only had 2 small fuji apples w/c are small so i know its not even 1 cup.Fuji is delicious and juicy i recommend it.about a cup of nuts mixed walnut and pecan, added some cinnamon as everyone suggested and the rest i followed the written recipe.and yeah i waited 20 minutes before taking it out of the baking pan and its perfect.Thank you so much for the recipe and thank you for all the reviews.It help a lot

Excellent recipe. I also chopped up apples and added raisins and extra cinnamon. Yummy

I enjoyed this recipe, however i too made some changes.I added 1 teaspoon of cinnomin,and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, and substituded chopped almonds for the walnuts. The batter did look somewhat dry as i poured it into the loaf pan, however it was light and fluffy and not at all dry. It was a delicious recipe that was easy to make! Great for the children's lunch box!

A fantastic recipe. My whole family loved it! I am the master chef because of this killer apple loaf. I made some changes to the base recipe, however. For one I didn't put any nuts in the loaf. What a horrible way to muck something great up. I did, however, put a layer of oats on the top of the mush in the bread pan before baking. This gave the finished loaf a beautiful and tasty crunchy oat topping. Also, I added nutmeg and cinnamon to the mixture. Really, how can you make an apply anything with out them? I wonder... In conclusion you made me a hero. Thank you for this godly recipe. I will make it again, and again, and again, and again, and...

Great bread! I added another cup of apples, 3/4 cup of raisins, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Instead of 1 cup of white sugar I changed it to 3/4 white and 1/4 brown. It was very good. I will be making this again!

Delicious!!!! Doubled the apples and added some cinnamon and nutmeg---yummy!

This was a very good loaf.I added alot of cinn to mine, this is a keeper

I was craving apples one day (pregnant lady!) and bought a whole bunch of apples! Well, after about a week, I was tired of apples and had a couple left over I wanted to put to good use instead of waiting till they went bad and tossing them in the bin. After reading some of the reviews, I, too, made a couple additions. I added a little bit of milk, a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg and my apples after shredded were about 2 cups intead of 1. Also, after mixing everything together I realized my mother in law still had my loaf pans so I made muffins instead. We loved them! Not dry at all and they were a huge hit that morning at breakfast! My daughter, who is 7, loves to help in the kitchen and they were so easy and a great activity for us to do together! I will surely make this recipe again. It is a geat way to use up a couple apples and I also want to try using different types of apples too!(I used 1 fuji and 1 red delicious)Thank you for the great recipe!

Added 1 tsp of cinnamon and left the skin on the apples for more fiber as one reviewer suggested. This turned out good but slightly dry even with constant eye on the time/bread. But overall it is good. Would make again.

IT'S A MUST!!!!!!!Like always i add ingredients and left some. Exquisite with crystalized ginger, raisins(OMG),cloves,nutmeg,cinnamon. Add milk cause the texture was to dry for my taste about 3 table spoon. Ikept the pele on the apple, faster and healthier. You really need 2 cups of apple but dont cut them to small because you will lose the taste.

Tasty, but not spectacular. Like other reviewers, I love my baking spices so I added more cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. Just didn't have the emphasis on the apples that I was looking for. This recipe doubled well.

I added 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp mace and 1/2 tsp ginger to spice this up a bit and it came out good. The texture was not what I expected, but I used very tart and very hard granny smith apples, so I think next time I'll try some better apples.

This loaf is so tasty! I took the suggestions of others and used 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. I think it would be really bland without it! I also left out the walnuts because I don't like nuts in my bread. The apples were hard to shred with an cheese grater, because they were so juicy, I had to really press hard to get good shreds. I left the apple peel on for fiber, but will try shredding with my Cuisinart next time. I also added about 1 teaspoon lemon juice to keep the apples from turning brown. Be careful about including too much juice from the apples - my loaf crumbled when I cut it. I also added 2 cups of granny smith apples (about 3 apples). So so good!

With fall at hand and my apple tree full of apples that I couldn't possibly all eat (and tired of apple pies), I needed a recipe to put those apples in. Made this loaf, but with a few changes. Like most other reviews, used 2 cups of apples instead of the called for 1. Also added cinnamon (sorry no measuring, just sprinkled until I felt there was enough), raisins, and 1/2 cup of light vanilla soy milk (lactose intolerance) because the dough looked a little too dry. Baked for 75 min. Pretty good, I'd say. Addition: The second time I made this, I made it without the raisins and walnuts (I made the first loaf for my dad) and less soy milk. But I added a crumb top made from 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour and 3 TBSP. butter mixed/crumbled together. Delicious!

Very good! I used 4 apples which made about 2 cups of shredded apples and I added cinnamon because it goes so well with apples. The bread is very moist and has an excellent flavor. I would make this over banana bread. Yum!

Disasterous. I don't know what I did wrong. Came it extremely dry and crumbly. I even baked it for less time than suggested. Didn't have any apple flavor either. Really screwed this one up.

This was amazing! I've never had apple bread before, but this was great. Since my fiance is allergic to banana bread (my OLD favorite), this will be made for Sunday breakfasts from now on. Even my 16 month old toddler loved it! (that's a HUGE compliment) I did add 1/2 tsp cloves, 3/4 tsp cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg, and used two cups of apples. The cooking time was perfect, even with the extra apples. Thanks a bunch for this delicious recipe!

Yum! I added a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and used 2 cups of apples, shredding one and chunking the other. These alterations required a longer baking time. This loaf is so-o-o good and I'll definitely be making it again.

With the following changes - this recipe received great reviews from family. I added 2 1/2 cups of finely chopped apples, 1/2 tsp of cloves, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Another reviewer made the comment that it took 70 minutes to bake with these changes - I'm glad I was watching the oven because mine was perfect after being in the oven just under 50 minutes.

Delicious! I've made this several times. I use 2 cups apples (Granny Smith) and add dashes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom to my batter. I also cut the sugar back to 1/2-3/4 cups depending on how sweet/tart the apples are.
